Been thinking about meat packing ideas. I have a pack frame no pack have a large heavy duty duffel thinking of using that not planing on long packs thanks
Set it on the frame in the bag and use rope to right it tight. Works just fine

That's what I was doing in my avatar pic. A bit of para chord goes a long way.

Webbing with buckles is faster and easier for most folks, though not quite as secure.
For short hauls and a pack frame that has top corner posts, I like to tie two loops to each quarter or to the top corners of meat sacks, and simply place the load loops over the upright top ends of the pack frame. Gravity hold the load in place as long as the pack is upright, and you can quickly attach and release loads for short leapfrog loads.

Many decades ago a horse packer showed me how to tie a diamond hitch onto a backpack frame. Kinda hard to describe, but infinitely adaptable and secure to the point a man could lash a leaf bag full of jello to his pack frame. It is pretty quick to tie and untie. I use parachute cord.

"how to tie a diamond hitch"
That would be cool to know. I add more straps and buckles to my packs, but nothing replaces Para Cord for usefulness.

carry a 65l dry sack rolled up on your pack frame , it will keep every thing clean, plus you can dunk it in the creek to cool off your meat. make sure your frame has a good belt .and load lifters .
Ideally you would not want to carry meat in plastic. You want it to stay as dry as possible or bacteria will thrive.

I've packed quite literally a hundred animals in a dry bag in my pack. Never once a single issue :twocents:carry a 65l dry sack rolled up on your pack frame , it will keep every thing clean, plus you can dunk it in the creek to cool off your meat. make sure your frame has a good belt .and load lifters .

The dry bag is only for when it’s in the backpack or creek. Not for long term storage. Unless it’s very cold out. I’ll use a dry bag every time to save the blood from soaking my pack.carry a 65l dry sack rolled up on your pack frame , it will keep every thing clean, plus you can dunk it in the creek to cool off your meat. make sure your frame has a good belt .and load lifters .
